Close of a Moderately Busy Week-The Out

INDIANAPOLIS Aug 27.
The week closing to-day has been quite busy
in most departments of trade. Business with the
dry goods dealers has not been heavy-in fact. it
never is at this season-and there complaints that
the volume of trade thus far in the month has not
equaled that OF August of last year. There is
signabe cause for the falling off, Up to August the
trade had been much in of that for the
responding period last year, but then it dropped off.
and there has been resumption. Despite the high
prices paid for woods last spring there will be
marked advance If any. in wooden goods for the

Antiquities Found in Spain.


The metropolis of the ancient city of Carmona
has just been discovered about half a mile be-
yond the Arab gate of Seville. The inhabitants
of Carmona were the most civilized of the Iber-
ian peninsula several centuries before the Chris
tian era and it is said their laws were written
in verse. The excavations which have recently
been made have resulted in the discovery OF o
large number of coins. and between the two
Groves the excavations have brought to light a
great many sepulchral chambers, hewn out of
the rock, with funeral urns in the sides. The
roofs of these sepuchral chambers are some of
them vaulted, while others are fiat There are
several furnaces either inside or just outside the
chambers, and it was in these that the incnera-
ton took place. the ashes being placed in black
earthenware urns Among the other objects
found was mirror with a handle, a lamp a
lachrymary bronze statue several pieces of
iron, ibation cups, nuts, the remains of re-
past and some pipes corr municatng with the
inside and the outside of the sepulchral cham
bers.

Spelling A GHOST.
How a Plucky Peddier Frightened Two
supernatural visitants."


Many ghost story would have met |
with an untimely end, had man of
spirit arisen to hunt down the super
natural visitants. Some years AGO, a
little town in Iowa became greatly eX-
cited over succession of strange sights
and noises. which had occurred inl
Horse-thief Grove, where two criminals
had once been buried. The reports ran
that at twelve o'clock every Friday
night blue and white lights were seen
to rise from the graves and disappear
in the branches of the trees above.
An enterprising peddler, spending a
night in the town, determined to III
vcstigate the ghostly phenomena, and
having provided himself with pistol,
slipped down to the grove. An eager
and expcctant crowd stood on hill at
convenient distance, waiting to see
the lights, and, says the invest gator,
made up my mind to give them an after
piece that night, as | lay snugly con-
cealed under the bushes near the graves.

heard the sounds l had been expecting
the trampling of feet near me- Look
ing up cautiously, beheld the sons OF
my host, two very mischi evous lads,
| carrying a rope and lantern with blue
and white glass. Every thing was plain
to me now. The boys would creep up
a narrow and deep ditch to the graves
BY the aid of rope running over
pulley fastened in the trees, they could
run the lantern up and down while con
ccaled in the brush some distance OFT
relying on the supcrstitious fear of the
others to prevent discovery.
After they had every thing arranged
and had run the lantern up once, com
menced saying something in terrify
ing voice. They dropped every thing
and started through the bush lik'

slipped back to the house. Next morn
ing the excitement was terrible to wit
ness. My hosts house, being tn
nearest, was crowded with men wear
ing an awed expression, as if they eX
pected dire calamity. After hearin:
the various conjectures and sugges
tons, l arose and told my story. Nj
statements were borne out by tindin
the rope and lantern. Nothing bu
their extreme youthfulness saved til
perpetrators from something wors

THE EFFECTS OF MENTAL EXHAUSTION

Many diseases, especially those of the ner-
vous system, are the products of daily renewed
mental exhaustion. Business avocations often
involve an amount of mental wear and tear
very prejudicial to physical health, and the
professions. if arduously pursued, are no less
destructive to brain and nerve tissue. 1t is one
of the most important attributes OF Hostetter
Stomach Bitters that it compensates for this
energy to the brain and nerves. The rapidity
with which it renews weakened mental energy
and physical vitality is remarkable, and shows
that its invigorating properties are of the
highest order. Besides increasing vital stamina
and counteractihg the effects of mental exhaus
ton this potential medicine cures and prevents
fever and ague rheumatism, chronic dysl epsia
and constipation, kidney and uterine weakness
and other complaints. Physicians also com
mend it as medicated stimulant and remedy.
